Under 2013 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme, eligible applicants’ holdings are required to have satisfied a minimum stocking density of 0.15 livestock units for a retention period of seven consecutive months, in addition to maintaining an annual average of 0.15 livestock units calculated over the twelve months of the scheme year.

While the holding of the person named was confirmed as having satisfied the twelve-month average, it did not satisfy the seven month minimum requirement. Therefore, unfortunately, no payment is due to the person named under the 2013 Scheme. The person named has been informed of this in writing and advised of his right to appeal.
